Wine for Kids??
Jul 22nd, 2008 by GreenBroad
It used to be candy cigarettes…but know kids want their latte or blended coffee drink, designer jeans, hand bags, and now WINE! Just what are we thinking? Is America trying to make more alcoholocis or what? Kid Wine! Yep - First Blush (a natural grape juice), that comes in Merlot, Cabernet, Rose, and Chardonnay Flavors. I’m floored!
Don’t get me wrong - wine has great health benefits….but to market alcohol use to a child is wrong. You don’t see Budweiser making Kiddie Beer. But since wine is good for you…let’s market it to the masses!
I don’t know why parents would think that was cute. Personally I think it will lead to many late nights for those “hip” parents down the road.
Why do advertisers want kids to think drinking wine is quote on quote - cool? Why not market it as all natural fruit juice? On the flip side, why not just drink MonaVie (it’s about the same price and you get more nutrition).
Why make the product something that it isn’t. If you don’t like to drink alcohol, why the need to fit in? You should be comfortable with your decision.
Being a teenager is hard enough as it is…why the extra peer pressure to fit in?
